- After exchanging Email with Mr. Healey on the same question, I don't
- think there are any patches as such. Just some entries labeled as being
- for "HiColor" in modeDB.txt. I suspect they'll work as well with non-
- HiColor DAC's.

- If someone out there actually has come up with some patches which run
- the HiColor boards /in HiColor mode/, please let us know!
